    I make low cal homemade "puddings" that have between 5 and 50 calories a serving. I make a lemon "pudding" by adding lemon juice, 0cal sweetener, cornstarch, 2 cups of water, and 1/8 cup egg beaters and cooking until thickened. I make a chocolate version using water, cornstarch, 0cal vanilla syrup, 1/4 cup milk and 1-3/4 cups of water. You can change up the flavors by using any juice or flavored drink mix such as Emergen-C, adding coffee to the chocolate, etc. I actually like the chocolate version better than the full milk version I grew up on. I place them in single serve containers with lids that I get from my local restaurant supply store. I have even frozen them for a yummy replacement when my family breaks out the ice cream.

    Not sure how "healthy" it really is, but I like to have a bowl of sliced strawberries with light whip cream on top. Same goes for bananas, peaches.. Basically any fruit. Light whip cream is only 15 cals for 2 tbsp.

    And this:

    Fresh strawberries (5 berries = 20 cal) with half of a serving of Light and Fit vanilla yogurt on it (3oz = 40 cal). (Optional: Sometimes I sprinkle on some ground flax seed for the omega-3 and it has hardly any flavor... a hint of granola-y taste perhaps..) Peaches also work well instead of strawberries.

    When I did Weight Watchers, we always made these. Chocolate graham crackers + cool whip. Freeze. It's like an ice cream sandwich.

    That sounds so good - is it tinned pumpkin or real?

    jnchorn; This recipe works with any cake mix. Just add the box cake mix (no additional ingredients) and a can of pumpkin puree and bake as directed.


    Could any one please tell me if this would work with apple sauce insread of punpkin puree, and if so, how mauch apple would equate to a can? ie, how much is in a can?
    Thanks

    Skinny Pretzel-Crust Strawberry Cheesecake (Diabetic Friendly) – 8 large servings
    Ingredients:

    Crust:
    • 1 cup pretzels (crushed very fine; about 60 sticks)
    • 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (I use stevia)
    • 3 tablespoons reduced calorie butter or buttery spread melted
    • 1 tablespoon water

    Filling:
    • 8 ounces fat free cream cheese, room temperature
    • 1 cup sweetener of choice (again, I use Stevia)
    • 1 cup fat free whipped topping, thawed
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ package (2 servings) sugar-free strawberry flavored jello
    • 1 cup boiling water
    • 1 cup strawberries, sliced thin

    Method:
    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Add all the crust ingredients together and mix well until combined (can use a food processor). Press into the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish. Bake for 8 min; cool completely.
    • Whisk together boiling water and gelatin, set aside to cool
    • Beat together cream cheese, sweetener, whipped topping, and vanilla until very smooth. Poor into cooled crust and place in the refrigerator.
    • Once the filling as firmed up a little (about 20 minutes), place cut strawberries in a circle pattern around the top. Pour jello over the top. Cool in refrigerator until firm (about 1.5 to 2 hours at least).

    Nutritional Information:

    When my bananas get ripe, I peel them, cut them up, and put them in baggies and place them in the freezer. When I get a chocolate craving, I put the banana in a blender with a little unsweetened almond milk and some unsweetened cocoa powder. Yum, just like soft serve ice cream. Add whatever flavor you feel like: dates, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Enjoy!
